Review By Dilip Davda on November 7, 2024

•    The company is engaged in the business of providing IT hardware solutions and related services.
•    It posted inconsistency in its top and bottom lines for the reported periods. 
•    It is operating in a highly competitive and fragmented segment.
•    Based on annualized FY25 earnings, the issue appears fully priced. 
•    There is no harm in skipping this "High Risk/Low Return" fully priced bet.

ISSUE DETAILS/CAPITAL HISTORY:
The company is coming out with its maiden IPO of 3606000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each at a fixed price of Rs. 45 per share to mobilize Rs. 16.23 cr. The issue opens for subscription on November 12, 2024, and will close on November 14, 2024. The minimum number of shares to be applied is for 3000 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Post allotment, shares will be listed on BSE SME. The issue constitutes 26.50% of the post-IPO paid-up capital of the company. The company is spending Rs. 1.33 cr. for this IPO process, and from the net proceeds of the IPO, the company will utilize Rs. 12.96 cr. for capital expenditure, and Rs. 1.94 cr. for general corporate purposes. 

The IPO is solely lead managed by Jawa Capital Services Pvt. Ltd., and KFin Technologies Ltd. is the registrar to the issue. Rikhav Securities Ltd., is the Market Maker for the company. The issue is underwritten 84.94% by Aftertrade Broking and 15.06% by Jawa Capital. 

After issuing initial equity shares at par value, the company has issued bonus shares in the ratio of 4 for 1 in August 2023. The average cost of acquisition of shares by the promoters is Rs. 6.00, and Rs. 9.00 per share.

Post-IPO, company's current paid-up equity capital of Rs. 10.00 cr. (10000000 shares) will stand enhanced to Rs. 13.61 cr. (13606000 shares). Based on the upper price band of the IPO, the company is looking for a market cap of Rs. 61.23 cr. 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:
On the financial performance front, for the last three fiscals, the company has posted a total income/net profit of Rs. 18.49 cr. / Rs. 0.87 cr. (FY22), Rs. 34.83 cr. / Rs. 7.04 cr. (FY23), and Rs. 23.44 cr. / Rs. 3.86 cr. (FY24). For Q1 of FY25 ended on June 30, 2024, it earned a net profit of Rs. 0.81 cr. on a total income of Rs. 4.53 cr. Thus the company has reported inconsistency in its top and bottom lines for the reported periods. 

For the last three fiscals, the company has reported an average EPS of Rs. 4.42 and an average RoNW of 25.79%. The issue is priced at a P/BV of 2.16 based on its NAV of Rs. 20.81 as of June 30, 2024, and at a P/BV of 1.65 based on its post-IPO NAV of Rs. 27.22 per share. 

If we attribute FY25 annualized earnings on post-IPO fully diluted equity capital, then the asking price is at a P/E of 18.91. The issue relatively appears fully priced.

For the reported periods, the company has posted PAT margins of 5.03% (FY22), 40.28 % (FY23), 18.47% (FY24), 19.82% (Q1-FY25), and RoCE margins of 1.99%, 16.50%, 9.55%, 2.05%, respectively for the referred periods. 

According to the management, FY23 top and bottom lines includes other income and exceptional items along with other accounting adjustments. If we remove it, then the performance is on an average with marginal growth. Repeat orders/extension of rental are done at more discount and is thus denting its bottom lines.

DIVIDEND POLICY:
The company has not paid any dividends for the reported periods of the offer document. It will adopt a prudent dividend policy post listing, based on its financial performance and future prospects. 

COMPARISION WITH LISTED PEERS:
As per the offer document, the company has shown Silicon Rental Solution as its listed peer. It is trading at a P/E of 22.9 (as of November 07, 2024). However, they are not truly comparable on an apple-to-apple basis. 

MERCHANT BANKER'S TRACK RECORD:
This is the 4th mandate from Jawa Capital in the ongoing fiscal.  From the 3 listings so far, 2 opened at discount, and the rest opened with 50.00% premium on the date of listing.
